President Mugabe has raised concern over the growing tendency to issue votes of no confidence by Zanu-PF officials against their colleagues.

He made the remarks while addressing the Central Committee meeting in Harare this afternoon where he also took a swipe at senior party officials who are feeding the private media with lies meant to tarnish their colleagues’ images.

“Kurwisana hakuperi? Iwo ma vote of no confidence akauya awa. Ko nyaya dzacho hadzitauriramwe here?

“Asi kana munhu asinganzwi zvirikutaurwa navamwe achida kutora gwara rake iye woga hongu anosungirwa kurangwa zve. Asi tinoenda ka netsikawo yekuti munhu anomboyambirwa. Try to correct each other, warn each other before you take action. It doesn’t help us,” said President Mugabe.

He said there were some senior party officials who were manufacturing and leaking information to the private press with the intention of putting other party officials in bad light.

“Then there are lies, formulation of lies, manufacturing of lies, talking about the purported actions of people which never happened. Kunyepa, tava vanyepi. We go day and night wanting to get information if we can’t get it, manufacture the information that damages the group that we are opposed to most. Chii chirikumboitika kuma provinces kwenyu? Chii chirikumboitika mu politburo?” queried President Mugabe.
